THE STEAM Pillow.

We have several times spoken of our
smooth, level prairies, void of ravines OF
other distractions as being admirable and
specially suited for the use of steam
plows, if ever steam plows come to be
available anywhere. We now learn that
one or more of these implements have
been put to use in Meade coudty, and will
try to ascertain the facts with regard to
its warking at our earliest convenience.
Deep blowing will secure good crops
here in any year, and with the steam
pillow we can go as deep as we please.
We know it must be costly tool, but so
is steam threshing machine, yet they
are IN use in every county. Ground once
deeply broken with the steam pillow will
not need it again for years. We regard
its coming as only question of time

GRASSES FOR DRY AND
POOR LANDS,

The matter of what grasses are best to
SOW on our grovelly, stony, sandy, and
other poor, dry lands has not received
enough attention from experimenters OF
writer's. These lands cannot well be used
for meadows, but they furnish fair
amount of excellent pasturage. Ken
lucky bluegrass and white clover are
used pretty satisfactorily on these lands,
but doubtless there are grasses native to
such soils that would do better if they
were only known to the farmers. Sleeps
fescue, hard fescue, meadow fescue.
crested dogs tail, and fiat stemmed blue
grass are all worthy of sowing in an ex-
perimental way, but not for pasture, I'M
less they have been more extensively
tried than we are aware Of. It may be
that some of the grasses, native to our
dry western soils would be worthy of
cultivation. 1t is not impossible that
species of grass could still be found on
the old continent, or in South America,
that would succeed under cultivation on
cur thinner lands.-Prairie Farmer.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review says:
a great revolution in business is going
on. With radically conflicting accounts
Of serious LOSSES at some localities and
in some branches and of wonderful
gains at other places, or in other de-
partments of trade and industry, the
difficulty of reaching just conclusion
respecting the general tendency is much
enhanced. The interstate act is but
one of the several causes which con-
tributes to produce this resolution in
commerce. Expansion in the volume
and change in the KIND Of currency is
another not less important. Most un-
expeated results are produced.
The inter state act clearly helped
some who bitterly opposed it, and as
clearly injured others who expected
great benefits from its operation. Thus
the business of the west is expanding
under the influence of the law and the
railroads are at the same time getting
large earning from the part of the traffic
they retain while not few cities find,
as Cincinnati does, that in many lines
is greatly embarrassed. Ohe great ten
dency is disclosed by the urgent demand
for suspension or change of the law,
especially from those who most favored
the enactment. A serious diversion Of
the trade from wertern cities which
have been chief centers of distribution
is in progress and multitude of small
towns are reaping the benefits. West
ern products do not, as rule, gain any
thing in eastern markets. If wheat
has advanced 24c since the act went in
to effect, corn and oats have declined
fraction. Pork is about the same.
Lard is half cent lower and beef sells
at the same price. Cotton has peen
advanced J cent, but this change, like
the rise in wheat, is clearly specula-
ton and therefore threatens a reaction
through curtailment of the demand.
Railroad building is not checked by
the act as yet, and there is probability
that, by encouraging traffic at many
instead of few centers of trade, the
law may tend to the building of numer.
GUS local roads and parallel river lines.

THE CRIME OF CHEAPNESS.

Edward Atkinson is statistican and
economist who believes in cheapness
and who despises nothing because it is
small. 1t follows, therefore, that he is
not the man to be received with much
cordiality by the average American
workingmen society. It is the opin-
ion of all observers that there is less
economy in America than in any other
country on the earth. Waste is to be
seen everywhere, in a more surprising
degree among the poor than among the
rich we!l-to-do. To correct this evil
seems to be the aim of Mr.. Atkinson.
To that end he has been writing for
several years, and for the purpose of
reaching men and women not otherwise
to be instructed, he has of late adopted
the policy of making speeches. At
meeting of this description in Boston
on Sunday night he staten his case and
was Kissed and violently criticised for his
pains. The workingmen's orators did
not care to learn how to live on small
incomes. What they wanted was en-
lightment on the point of securing larger
incomes. 1t is not to be doubted that
MIR. Atkinson is it some respect an ex-
tremist, as theorizers are apt to'be, but
in all his writings and public utterances
there is an important truth which every
man and woman not yet financially lnde-
pendent would do well to lay hold Of.
He breaches the old fashioned doctrine
of thrift, self-denial and saving. If
there are great fortunes in the country
which attract the jealousy of some and
cause apprehension to others 1T is to be
remembered that most of them began
on this foundation. The widest dreamer
has never devised state of society in
which a wasteful man could become
rich.

War on the Ground Hog.

A Pennsylvania farmer near Phoenix
vile is waging successful war on the
ground hog, which as every farmer
knows, does much damage to meadows.
His method is to fill large beer or
porter bottle with powder, lettings fuse
ruo though the cork. He then places
the bottle in grovnd hogs hole, with
the fuse projecting outside, taking care
to pack the earth tigtly TT the mouth
the hole and close up firmly all other
holes leading to the home Of the doom:
ed animal. Then the fuse is fred, and
the result is that all the ground hogs
in the hole are killed by the concussion.
We clip the above to call attention
to the fact that our prairies are full Of
holes made by badgers, prairie wolves,
gophers and ground squirrels, and to
suggest that these pests can perhaps be
dealt with by the same means used for
ground hogs alias woodchucks, try it;

BOYS AND TRADES.

A short time since correspondent Of

how to WELD something besides his pen
and this he uses to good purpose, made
some observations, from which the Jew
elers' Journal quotes as follows:

to learn how to build ship, and he learn.
ed from stem to stern, from hull to mast,
and that was the beginning of his great,
ness. knew young man who was poor
and smart. A friend sent him to one OF
these schools up North, were he stayed
two years and came back as mining en-.
gineer and bridge builder. Last year he
planned and built cotton factory, and
is getting a large salary. How many
college boys are there in Georgia who
can tell what kind of native timber will
bear the heaviest burden, or why you
take white oak for one part of a wagon
and ash for another, and what timber
will last longer under water and what out
of water? How many know sandstone
from limestone, or iron from manganese?
How many know how to cut rafter OF
brace without pattern? How many
know which turns the faster-the top of
wheel or the bottOm--as the wagon
moves along the ground? How many
know how steel is made, and how snake
can climb tree?
How maky know that horse gets up
before and COW behind, and the COW
eats grass from her and the horse to him?
How many know that surveyors mark
on tree never gets any higher from the
ground, or what tree bears fruit without
blOOmY
There is power of comfort in knowl-
edge, but a boy is not going to get it un-
less he wants it bad, and that is the
trouble with most college boys, they
don't want it. They are too busy, and
haven't got time There is more hope of
a dull boy who wants knowledge than of
a genius, for genius generally knows it
all without study. These close observa-
tons are the worlds benefactors."

tunes Wheel.

The real estate boom has struck the
town like Kansas cyclone. Dodge City
has never lacked the confidence of a sure
winner, but has been waiting with per.
feet calmness, until she could attract the
attention her superior advantages merit
Like the victorious oarsman, she has rest

shoulder at her struggling rivals, ther
pressed on again with steady stroke to-
ward the goal.
Among those capitalists who have had
any eye on the prospects of Dodge City
for some time, is A. T. Soule, the Roch

the time has come to strike the iron

He has donated $50, 900 cash, to the new

ABOUT ADVERTISING.

Do not put advertisement in the paper,
(unless it is of very striking appearnce)
set there like hen.
Keep stirring your advertisement like
boiling soap. 1t may cost time and
money, but SO does everything else that
is worth having.
If you cannot tell exactly what sort of
an advertisement you want, look through
the newspapers for models, or consult
with some newspaper man.
Having once fixed your glittering eye
on the public, and seized the popular but
ton hole, never let go SO long as you ad-
vertise. Give people to understand that
there is no escape from you, except to
leave the country. Persistency is all
there is to advertising.
Remember there are many ways of adj
vertising in paper; there Is the stand
ing ad.," the local notice." and the
write up" and others. Give the public
one or all or these at every opportunity.
As in every other business. have an I'M
derstanding of what you are about.
Have in known and know yourself. how
much space you wish to occupy, and the
place in the paper and the time. Read
the proof of your most important adver-
tisements yourself. Having got every
thing as you want it, don't kick.
Modesty and parsimony have nothing
to do with the advertising businiss. If
you are rose that is just naturally born
to blush unseen, you do not need to adj
vertise. and if you want to keep your
money in a stocking leg to look at, you
must fOrego the pleasure of advertising
In advertising, the requisites are great
head and lots of nerve
Remember that the best advertiser in
America, outside of a few patent medf.
cine men, is John Wanamaker, of Phil
adelphia. Follow his ways and be WISE
Distribute the papers containinx your
advertisements were they win do good !;
and you are the best Judge Of that. --Nsw-

for the purpose of experimenting upon
the introduction of the camel into this
country as beast of burden. Without
wishing to appear unduly hasty in call

Chicago Tribune, we must say that it
does seem as il sufficient time had elaps-

formerly. We have had less wind from
